Excuse me. Does this post and the comments I have read suggest that robots and robot enhanced humans will not ever pose ethical and moral questions? The *why proceed until all the current problems have been solved* mentality would have us all living in caves until the ventilation was perfected. Let's not allow our scorn for the G+M distract us from serious consideration of its rare thought provoking poll.

*"dollops says... living in caves until the ventilation was perfected"

hey, doll... not to burst your battlestar gallactica bubble, bro, but... you are aware that a goodly number of the earth's inhabitants are... figuratively, if not literally... still living in those self-same caves, right?

you think maybe, just maybe... before we get all caught up in this way-cool cybernetic ethical dilemma... we could fix up some of that "dismembering children for the magical properties of their various body parts" stuff first?
